Thank you for your reply! I will replace my oldstable/sqeeuze sources
with the squeeze-lts on all relevant systems.. +20...

I'm still wondering why the discussion was made to set-up a new
security system and new sources. Why not use the current
security.debian.org system add the check-support-status package and
just make clear that packages not listed don’t get security support
(this would have saved a lot of work for me and maybe others).

Kind regards,
